We were informed that political prisoner Mr. Ali Saremi who was a 63 year old teacher in Tehran’s Nazi Abad region and was loved by his students was executed on Tuesday, December 28 by the government ruling Iran. He was also a political prisoner under the rule of the Shah and spent 23 years of his life in prison for freedom of expression and freedom of thought.
Compatriots,
The Iranian government has committed this crime at a time of widespread public discontent because of the implementation of the plan to cut subsidies and a price raise on all goods including bread and fuel which is the minimum needs of all the sectors of the Iranian society.
The dictator government thinks it can prevent this discontent and social protests by executing the children of the Iranian people. However, historical experience has shown that such measures will only fuel public discontent.
The Committee for Free Teachers supports political prisoners and condemns the execution of political prisoner and teacher, Mr. Ali Saremi and requests from all teachers, the freedom loving people of Iran, and international human rights organizations to condemn his execution and prevent the execution of other jailed political prisoners including jailed teachers.

Ali Saremi had no fear from the clerical dictatorship
Dec. 28, 2010 – Tehran
While the clerical dictatorship intended to provoke an atmosphere of fear and horror to prevent from any uprising, Mr. Saremi never gave up. He always issued messages from inside the prison calling on people to defend their rights and freedom.
In his message about the execution of Habibollah Latifi, a Kurd student and a political activist who was to be executed a few days ago Mr. Saremi wrote: “Despotism always kills to hush people and prevent great protests. The regime’s officials who are incapable of managing the country which is the source of all the problems kill. Until the despotism exists, the killing continues and people’s escalating problems will last for ever.
While condemning the execution decree of Habibollah Latifi we warn the regime that uprisings of the mass will not end with these killings”.
